President's Report

I've been working with the associated projects that recently held conferences
to finalize their recent events.  Our auditing firm is filing our federal tax
form and has provided us the information to file our New York State form. Our
2021 audit is nearly complete as well.  Continued thanks to SPI Vice President,
Stephen Frost, for handling contracting with SPI's contractors. Stephen
continues to do a fantastic job working with our contractors and legal counsel.

Vice-president's report:

Please review the work done by our IT contractor so that we can continue to
make progress moving off of the old infrastructure and on to the new.

Treasurer's report

From schultmc, on behalf of zumbi:

The SPI treasury team is continuing to process requests and is striving for
more timely ticket handling. The backlog is being processed but if there are
any board members who would like to assist with treasury tasks, additional
help is always welcome.

Secretary's report

The Fabrik project is applying to join SPI; we expect to have a vote regarding
their joining at the December meeting.
